Description
The product with the Part Number 183612B-01 (777304-01) falls under the category of PC-based Oscilloscopes/Digitizers. This particular model, identified as PCI-5102, is designed with 2 channels and offers a sampling rate of 20 MS/s. It boasts an analog input bandwidth of 15 MHz and provides a versatile input voltage range from ±50 mV to ±5 Volts, which can be extended up to ±50 V when using attenuating probes.
The device allows for software-selectable AC or DC coupling and features an 8-bit ADC resolution. Impressively, it can achieve an effective sampling rate of up to 1 GS/s with Random Interleaved Sampling (RIS). The onboard memory capacity is approximately 663,000 samples, ensuring ample data storage.
It is supported by NI-DMM driver software, enhancing its functionality and ease of use. The unit is equipped with a variety of triggering options, including hysteresis values, programmable thresholds, bi-level, trigger hold off, and digital triggers, offering flexibility in operation. Its physical dimensions are 4.2 x 6.87 inches, making it a compact and efficient choice for many applications.
Although its obsolete status has been announced by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. Furthermore, calibration services are readily available, including NIST accredited calibrations performed through a third party, as well as basic in-house calibration, ensuring the device maintains its precision and accuracy over time.
